Watford vs Bristol City Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Watford have lost just 25% of their home games this season
• Bristol City have failed to score in four of their last five away league fixtures
• Watford have lost just one of their last eight home games

Watford’s home superiority

Watford have had a poor season, they began by all accounts most people’s tips to be promoted straight back to the Premier League, but with five games to go, the Hornets sit twelfth – with just six points but five teams separating them from the playoff. Just one place below the Hornets sit their visitors on Saturday, Bristol City, who’s recent run of just three losses in their last 17 league games has seen them rise higher up the table.

Despite this good run of form, the Robins have failed to score in four of their last five away fixtures, and have won just 25% of their away games this season. This directly contrasts with Watford’s form at Vicarage Road – they have lost only 25% of their home games this season, scoring more and conceding less per 90 than the Championship averages. As a result of this contrasting form, a prediction for Watford to win on Saturday looks good here.

Bristol City’s form

As previously mentioned, Bristol City have lost just three of their last seventeen league games, but just two wins in their last eight shows that this form has started to stutter. All three of their losses in that time have also come in these last eight games.

Failing to score in four of their last five away fixtures is a big indicator of how this one will go, with Watford having lost just one of their last eight home games, and scoring six goals in their last three home games gives them an average of two goals per game in that time. As a result, a correct score prediction of 2-0 Watford suits here.
